摘要

摘要:印度现在被广泛认为正在滑向“选举专制”的领域，民主指数稳步下降，一项又一项的研究似乎证实了自纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi) 2014年上台以来，该国的民主信誉受到侵蚀。但这篇文章认为，这是一种非历史的争论，它建立在不稳固的政治和宪法基础上，而且存在高度的时间短视。从历史的角度来看，印度的民主仍然处于它自1950年以来所居住的广泛连续体中，而且几乎没有迹象表明这个连续体是完整的。

The Authoritarian Roots of India’s Democracy

Abstract:India is now widely considered to be drifting into the realm of “electoral autocracy,” steadily falling lower in democracy indices, with study after study seemingly confirming the erosion of the country’s democratic credentials since Narendra Modi took power in 2014. But this, this essay argues, is an ahistorical contention that rests on shaky political and constitutional foundations, and suffers from a high degree of temporal myopia. An historical perspective would suggest that Indian democracy remains within the broad continuum it has inhabited since 1950, and that there is little to indicate that this continuum is anything but intact.
